ABOUT
What lies behind First Ladies conventional stand-and-clap images? At the very moment when the Emperor Titus, forgiving all those who plotted against him, is finally about to marry her, the ambitious Vitellia recalls the previous events. Vitellia remembers all she had to go through, all she had to achieve and lose, to reach this moment when she becomes an Empress at last, while renouncing a part of herself.
